Battery supplier Manbat is encouraging motor factors to take a step back from their hectic sales environment and focus on some of the highly profitable opportunities that other non-automotive battery sales can provide.

 

The company says that in particular its Lucas and Numax batteries can create new areas of profitable sales and bring in customers from outside of the normal automotive area of activity.

 

With many thousands of people taking advantage of Ireland’s coastline and inland waterways, Numax marine batteries offer excellent sales potential. These are original equipment (OE) fitment for such well-known brands as Sunseeker and Princess Yachts, so the quality is excellent. Manbat says marine batteries command a higher price and greater margin than their automotive battery cousins, which makes them an attractive proposition for factors interested in increasing profits and diversifying sales.

 

Camping is also a very popular leisure activity in Ireland and Numax and Lucas also have an excellent battery range to satisfy the caravan and motor-home battery sector. Campers require growing amounts of auxiliary power and as batteries for leisure activity are seen as a lifestyle rather than distress purchases, these batteries can offer excellent returns to stockists.

 

Other leisure related activities that are also able to open the doors for factors willing to consider the bigger picture include the golf and motorcycle sectors. New motorcycle registrations continuing to increase year-on-year and Manbat offers a comprehensive motorcycle battery range to meet demand from both Numax and Lucas.

 

Outside of leisure there is also growing demand for batteries for mobility vehicles for which Manbat can offer convenient and cost effective product solutions.
